Here in AZ, Saturday was a nice day and quite a few people out on one of the
favorite trails here on Brown's Ranch - Granite Mountain. Photos to follow...
also Biking on the trails was good. Here there is plenty of wide open to be
safe outside.
I'm with Ken on this one. People kept their distances and being outdoors with a
good breeze, sunlight, I the risk is greatly reduced. Much riskier just getting
food at the store. It is pretty easy to keep proper distance.
I suspect if you are in more crowded spaces and not moving, such as beaches,
the risk is higher. Then there are those on spring break in Florida that are
total idiots. Just because one (young person) feels it won't affect me, they
have not consideration for others.
